					KEY ADL SOCIAL STATEMENTS

						@SpeakerJohnson, @RepJeffries @SenSchumer @SenJoniErnst, we appreciate your leadership in Congress and at the #MarchForIsrael today as we work together to support Israel and Jewish communities in America.

						Following yesterday's arson attack targeting Yerevan's Mordechai Navi Synagogue, the 2nd attack since Oct, we call on the Armenian gov't to take immediate steps to secure the Jewish institutions & individuals in Armenia & prosecute all perpetrators to the full extent of the law.

						Outrageous the MI Jewish community & allies were denied the chance to March for Israel in DC. We've reached out to our Jewish Federation partners to offer support with next steps. Despite the setback, nothing will stop the resolve of the Jewish community.
